Exactly! So the modular idea would work nicely here - we could have a
blast module and only update that single module (which would be its own
JAR) whenever the format changes. In a way, BioJava releases as such
would no longer happen, except maybe for some kind of core BioJava
module. Everything would be done in terms of individual module+JAR
releases instead - one for Genbank, one for BioSQL, one for NEXUS, one
for Phylogenetic tools, one for translation/transcription, etc. etc.

cheers,
Richard
